Drop-Off Recycling
Materials and Preparation Tips
The new
drop-off program allows you to recycle mixed paper items and mixed
containers. Follow the instructional signs on the bins to
place your mixed paper in the correct opening and mixed containers
in the other. Place newspaper in special "Newspaper Only"
collection bins to most efficiently recycle this
material.
Please do
not place plastic bags (garbage or grocery) filled
with your recyclables into the drop-off containers.
Plastic bags are not recyclable in CVWMA programs and may cause
equipment to break at the processing and sorting
facility. If you use plastic bags to transport your
items, empty the plastic bag into the container and then properly
dispose of or recycle it. (Plastic grocery bags are
collected at many grocery stores.)
